The Crypto Asset Environmental Transparency Act was first introduced back in December. It would mandate the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct a study on what impact miners using more than five megawatts of power have on greenhouse gas emissions. The bill is being reintroduced by Senator Edward Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts and Representative Jared Huffman of California.
